City manager defends city vehicle clamping policy

CORK’S city manager has defended the city’s vehicle clamping policy following claims it was being used to fill council coffers.

Joe Gavin made his comments following accusations from Fianna Fáil Councillor Gary O’Flynn that the city’s clamping policy was “over the top”.

“It’s being used as a money-making racket. It’s just a means to fill the city council coffers,” Mr O’Flynn told Monday’s meeting of the city council.
